dark dan
Today was Dan and Phil’s meet up at Vidcon in California. I was not going to use this meet and greet because it was for a friend but sadly she couldn’t come. After asking a lot of people I decided that I should not let the meet and greet go to waste.
So basically all I got to do for two plus hours was wait in line. The fun part was whenever Vidcon crew found out people were scamming their way into meeting Dan and Phil. They sent Dan and Phil to their break and would not let them come out until everyone in line was registered and had this meet and greet. Thank goodness that disaster was over but sadly people that scammed their way through well some still met them. I’m all for everyone meeting Dan and Phil but it just wasn’t fair to them to be there longer than they were told. Plus they haven’t slept for two days. Goodness.
Anyways to the part where I meet them. I flew from east Tennessee for Vidcon and to vacation in Los Angeles. With that being known I had my boarding passes and thought it would be funny for them to sign after they told us about their plane fail. So it comes to be my turn and Phil is first so I’m just like arms open and jogging to him saying HI. I was so happy they are so nice and cute and I just cannot say enough positive things about them. Then I hugged Dan and I swear their hugs are so good. Like Phil can just hug me all day and I would not mind. After the hugs I said that I flew all the way from Tennessee for this and thought after the story last night that you could sign my boarding passes. They said sure and did. After that I said so I’m jet lagged and you two are jet lagged so let’s just pretend we say something cool and take a photo. Dan was looking at me like he knew what I was saying but really didn’t. We all do that. That just makes me laugh. So I hand my phone over for a photo and my camera decided to go back to the regular screen and on the screen is twitter, tumblr, instagram, wattpad, clock, camera, and more. He literally saw that I had wattpad. Like please run me over and leave me to die. I didn’t say what I wanted to do for the photo so we just smiled. What’s so funny is that it looks just like my first photo. lol. I cannot with my life. After the photo was taken I got my phone back and Dan said thank you for coming all the way out and for watching our videos. I leave to get my bag and continue on with life.
That is my meet and greet with Dan and Phil at Vidcon US 2017. Can I be honest? I literally didn’t feel that great after meeting them. I think it was rushed and that it wasn’t as personal to me as meeting them last year at the Washington DC stop on TATINOF. Overall I’m really grateful and wanted to share my experience with people that haven’t meet them and to let everyone know that they are actually nice and do care about their subscribers.

*shrugs and dies carelessly because already wants death*
Let me start out by saying that this woman restored my faith in humanity. After yesterday’s awful meet and greet chaos with Dan and Phil I went into this sad. Heck I was sad after I met Dan and Phil. It just sucked. But then today happened.
I line up for the queue of waiting to meet her and was in the last line towards the front. I think the security team learned what to do after the meet and greet with Dan and Phil yesterday. When she came out she was so happy and just was excited to see people for her. I cannot describe how amazing it was watching someone I like actually holding a conversation with their subscribers instead of being rushed. It made me feel like I was important and not another person in a line to get through.
It is finally my time to meet her. I go up to her after setting my bag down and say hi. She says hi and asks me what my name was and I told her Lainie. After that I stepped back and she said she liked my necklace and I said thank you. Now came time for me to tell her the cheesecake factory story. I told her that I actually met her two years ago in a cheesecake factory and didn’t know who she was but my friend did and asked for a photo. I told her she took one and she asked if she was hangry and I laughed. I told her no and that she was really nice. Then a month after meeting her I finally got into Youtube and realized that I actually met Grace. After telling her that story I asked what poses we should do because I have no idea. She said let’s do a normal one, an awkward one, and a toss up whatever one. After that I thanked her for just being her. After walking away I realize I forgot my bag and she said aww cute bag. And that was me meeting Grace Helbig. I cannot tell you enough how much better she made me feel after what happened with Dan and Phil yesterday. I owe her a lot. She so nice and sweet and cares for everyone she talks to.
I’m so grateful for this m&g. If y’all want to read about my m&g fiasco with Dan and Phil click here: http://stayinyourlehane.tumblr.com/post/162214061414/stayinyourlehane-today-was-dan-and-phils-meet
